Red ..... now Black ..... Kettle back into one piece after a complete
stripdown and rebuild and the engine ready to fire up having had the
crank done, cases vapour blasted, bearings/oil seals replaced, re-bore
1.00mm over you know the stuff ....... swallowed hard!!!!

Let the motor spin over with the Newtronics disconnected while a drop of
petrol or two got sucked in ....... then connected it up and she started first
time on the button!!!! No water leaks worrying noises and the gearbox works
just fine!!!!!

Got to do a bit more fettling over the next coupla days before an MOT but
hopefull all will be OK.

But no thanks to Mr Gibson who made the Allspeed pipes back in 2002
...... the left pipe just about fits OK ...... the centre pipe is a tight,
might need a bit of persuasion fit ...... the right one is a mile out, well an
inch or so, at the mounting bracket, but not a J/K
frame fitment, and I will probably have to make up a bracket to
suit!!!!!
